[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no "instant credibility for life" as stated by another poster for most Ivy league schools.

Princeton and U Penn-Wharton along with Harvard arguably provide the most assumed credibility.

But when one shares that he/she is a graduate of Brown, Penn (non-Wharton grads), Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia, or Yale, thoughts other than credibility come to mind.

Broadly speaking, an Ivy League degree suggests that one is smart, hard-working,and ambitious--but, this is true for graduates of northwestern, Chicago, MIT, Stanford, JHU, Duke, WashUStL, Emory, Berkeley, Amherst, Swarthmore, Wellesley, the 3 main service academies, Georgia Tech, CS and engineering majors from many state flagships and many other schools. My assumption is that these non-Ivy grads are just as qualified as any Ivy grad except regarding U Penn-Wharton. I also assume that these non-Ivy grads choose not to pursue any Ivy League education.[/quote]

PP here.

I sort of agree, but don't think that state school grads get the same presumption of being "smart, hard-working and ambitious" absent other tangible evidence of accomplishment (grades, career accomplishments, etc.).

I don't AGREE with this, but it holds true in my experience.

It depends on the major.

It's safe to assume that anyone graduating with a degree in CS or Engineering from Georgia Tech, UIUC, Purdue, Berkeley, UMD, Texas, Washington, or Michigan is smarter and more accomplished than their counterparts in the same majors at Yale or Brown. [/quote]
